Wasp nests as sculpture???! Don't they know (my pest guy says) wasps are attracted even to defunct nests

I enjoyed this love letter to late autumn, along with two seasonal recipes and the story of a wasp nest. Beautiful illustrations too.

The color of that soup is transcendent—I bet the taste is also! The mix of spices on the cauliflower definitely calls my name too. As for wasps, I have only thought of them with fear and never knew they came with benefits and their nests were art! I always learn something interesting and delicious from your posts, Vicki!🪹🐝🫜
